Nazi Mouthpiece Sanctions Purge —
VERY PRESENCE' OF JEWS IRKS GOEBBELS
ARGUMENT SLATED TODAY
BERLIN. June 21—iJP>—Propaganda Minuter Paul Joseph Goebbels tonight put the stamp of official approval on the new wave of nazi anti-semitism and roused a crowd of 120.000 Berliners to hysterical cries of "out with the Jews— out with the Jews."
Speaking at the annual summer solstice exercises at Olympic stadium, Goebbels demanded, however, that the state party rather than "the street"—meaning mobs—attend to solution of the Jewish problem.
"But It is a good thing we now know what concerns are Jewish.” declared the small propaganda minister referring to the recent smearing of store-fronti with “Jew" in red paint.
"We will see to it that legal measures are taken so that soon Jews will have gone altogether.
, vmifb HERR GOEBBELS
"As far as those remaining are concerned let them remember to keep out of the public view. They are beginning to be a nuisance xxx.
"If the foreign press invokes our human feelings, why we will be glad to present the Jews to them.
"If people say ‘Why, the Jews aren't doing anything,’ I say they provoke us by their very presence."
The government minister’s virulent attack came as the open campaign to drive some 500,000 Jews from Germany had shown signs of abating.
The German press today broke its
silence on the antl-semitic drive. Adolf Hitler’s own VoelkLscher Beo-bachter declared the campaign was “an act of self defense by the people against Jews who are swamping Berlin, especially from Austria."

CC Committee To Work Out Details With City Board
A committee of Abilene citizens, called In by the Hair administration to advise on finance problems, went on record last night as favoring a program for refunding the city’s four million dollar bonded debt..
Th* matter has been the subject of detailed study by Mavor Will W. Hair and the four comlssioners, for four months or longer.
Bince 1934, the city has been paying interest but no principal, on its bonded debt. "If the city of Abilene can, and I believe it can, I favor paying its debts and preserving its credit," said Hair, after presenting a summary of the last year's expenditures and receipts for all purposes.
By acclamation. J C. Hunter, president of the chamber of commerce, was named chairman last night. Vote in favor of the adoption of a refunding plan was unanimous, and so was that on Omar Radford's motion that the new chamber of commerce committee, appointed at Hair's request to study refunding advise with the commission in working out the plan, adding to the committee membership as the present members deem needed. The members are Fleming James. O. D. Dillingham. D. G. Barrow, C. M. Caldwell and C. L. Johnson.
INTEREST TOO HIGH
"Abilene should be able to work out a plan by which it can meet I its obligations.’’ said J. M Wagstaff. "In refunding the bonds, the city should look toward reduction of interest. The day of five per cent municipal bonds has passed."
Wagstaff discussed several plans which representatives of bond com- | panics have proposed for a refunding set-up. "I’m not wedded to any of them," he said. He added that he ) believed a bond company, by reason of being able to go into the bond market and carry Uie program through, would have to ban- 1 die IL
C. L. Johnson, former mayor, had } said he believed the city attorney ! and secretary could handle the program.
1225,000 ANNUAL NEED
It was estimated that on $225,000 a year the city could finance a re- j funding program, taking care oi both interest and principal payments, the latter being reapportioned over a longer period of years. Wagstaff suggested a levy for bond purposes of ll 26 of the $2 50 tax rate would, with an increase in valuations, take care of a refunding set-up. Mayor Hair, pointing to an anticipated 90 per cent collection of taxes, estimated ll 34 Tax collections because of heavy delinquent payments, have run better than IOO per cent the last two ■ years.
Included in last night's group were Superintendent L. E Dudley of city schools, Barrow. Johnson. Fleming James, George 8 Anderson, T. N. Carswell, Hunter, W J Fulwiier, R M Wolfe, W G. Swenson. Henry James. Wagstaff. F C. Digby Roberts, David S Castle Omar E Radford Thomas E. Hayden. L. A. Grimes. George Bowers. George Marsh, City Treasurer Brvan Ball, L. A.

Black s Chance To Evade Chair Rests On Sanity
Jurors Hear Grim Crime Details As Confession Read
ALPINE. June 12. — TTP) — Both
prosecution and defense closed their cases here tonight in the trial of Francis Marion Black, Jr., charged with shoving Marvin Noblltt, 13, over a bluff to his death.
Testimony ended after the state had presented rebuttal witnesses, among them Dr. W. J. Johnston, superintendent of the state hospital for the insane at San Antonio, who testified he believed Black was sane. BLACK LAST WITNESS He said, however, he thought the San Antonio filling station operator was unstable.
Judge C. R. Sutton will present his charge to the Jury at 9 a rn. tomorrow, after which arguments will begin.
Black took the stand as the last witness for his cause after the defense. in the face of a signed confession. threw the weight of a sanity plea into efforts to save Black from the electric chair.
The mother and wife of the ac* cused man testified for him, drawing a picture of him as a nervous, high strung young man unable to control his temper or to hold a job. FATHER WAS EPILEPTIC Mrs, Edna M Black, the defendant's mother, said she had had a "hard time raising" her boy in Kansas, She also told of the boy’s father, who she said was epileptic.
Dr. Paul L. White, Austin, psychiatrist testified Black was linkable. • ritab’e, of weak will power, and given to impracticable ideas, but said:
“I do not consider him Insane.’* On direct examination Black told how he was arrested as a suspect in the death, and said that he was taken to the court house and persuaded to make a written state-; ment.
He said that District Attorney Allan Fraser told him he might go easier on him lf he pleaded guilty. OBJECTS TO CONFESSION Defense objections to the prosecutions efforts to introduce Black's confession that he tossed the boy over the mountain bluff to collect insurance, were overruled by Judge C. R. Sutton, and Prosecutor Jackson slowly read Black’s signed statement the climax to the state’s case.
Beset by financial worries after stock negotiations had cost him the loss of his wife's money, Black, in his confession, told of first trying to drown the boy but failing besee BLACK, Pg. 3. Col. 5
